Ms. Liu Qin, General Manager of Yangzhou Yiju Yiyang Co., Ltd., introduced that the community currently houses over 200 elderly residents, utilizing smart devices for "age-friendly monitoring" and employing an open management model that distinguishes it from traditional senior care institutions.

Developed by Yangzhou Construction Engineering Holding Group Co., Ltd., the Tianrui Mansion opened in March 2022. With a total construction area of approximately 23,000 square meters, it comprises 6 age-friendly residential buildings with 243 units, making it the first embedded senior living community in Yangzhou's main urban area. Ms. Liu stated that the community currently has an 80% sales utilization rate and about 70% occupancy rate. Some residents have already reserved their units, planning to move in within three to five years. The average age of the residents is 77, and the service satisfaction rate is 96%.

The community's most distinctive feature is that it is not registered as a senior care institution, but allows residents freedom of movement. Its management model is similar to that of ordinary residential communities. "We don't want to confine our elders to one place," Ms. Liu said. "Some are very energetic and don't want to be stuck in one place, which is why they choose our senior living program." Residents are primarily locals from Yangzhou, but also include seniors from Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and other cities. One couple, who worked as sports coaches in Foshan for many years, returned to Yangzhou after retirement and chose to retire here.

Regarding intelligent management, each household is equipped with a call alarm and a smart bracelet. Elders living alone are also equipped with millimeter-wave radar. Ms. Liu explained that radar, rather than cameras, was chosen to protect the privacy of the elderly, "allowing them to be monitored by the smart device without them even noticing." The radar has three functions: fall detection, sleep monitoring, and bathroom occupancy alarm. If an elderly person falls and remains motionless below a certain height for one minute, the system automatically alarms.

The system has already proven its value. A 90-year-old granny living alone twice fell asleep on the toilet at night. After the system automatically alarmed, the housekeepers knocked on the door but received no answer. They then used a shared key to enter and helped the granny back to bed.

Regarding the monthly fee, it varies depending on the unit type, ranging from approximately 3,900 to 7,000 RMB (approximately HKD$4,200 to HKD$7,600). Air conditioning and underfloor heating are also included in the service fee; meals are charged separately.

The community has also introduced a health service station, allowing elderly residents to access medical care using their medical insurance without leaving the community. Ms. Liu indicated that the community has not yet been promoted to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or overseas. She told the Hong Kong media delegation, "We warmly welcome you to recommend our project to Hong Kong residents."

The Hong Kong media delegation visited Jiangsu FAMSUN Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and Myande Group Co., Ltd. in Yangzhou on March 26.

Despite logistical disruptions caused by the ongoing situation in the Middle East, both corporations stated that the impact remains manageable and that they continue to expand their overseas markets, leveraging their comprehensive solution capabilities and rapid delivery advantages.
Two Months, Not Eight: FAMSUN's Speed Advantage Over Europe and America
Mr. Zhou Zhiqiang, Vice President of FAMSUN, stated that the corporation started with feed equipment and has since expanded horizontally into grain storage, livestock farming, and agriculture. Its products are now exported to over 140 countries and regions, with overseas business accounting for more than 55% of total revenue.

He emphasized that the corporation's core competitiveness lies in its "full-solution" approach — not only providing equipment, but also assisting clients with financing and solving operational problems. While European and American competitors typically require 8 to 1o months for delivery, FAMSUN can reduce the timeline to just two to three months.

"When clients encounter difficulties, we would find ways for solutions, help them overcome their problems, gain their trust, and even help them resolve some financial issues," Mr. Zhou said. "This is true comprehensive capability."

The corporation's exhibition hall showcases large-scale warehousing projects FAMSUN has undertaken, including the Smart Grain Silo project in Zimbabwe and the "Future Egypt" Grain Silo project in Egypt. The latter has a total storage capacity of approximately 500,000 tons. Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi, the President of Egypt, once personally inspected the site and highly praised the project.
FAMSUN Smart Park: Welcome to the Future of Farming Equipment
FAMSUN Smart Park's workshop is built to international lighthouse factory standards, making it the world's first intelligent factory in the agricultural and livestock equipment field to meet this benchmark. The park houses a global project command center that displays real-time data on construction projects worldwide. AGV robots shuttle across the production lines transporting materials, while automatic spraying and automated warehousing are fully unmanned.

The corporation currently serves as the secretariat undertaking unit for the ISO/TC293 Technical Committee on Feed Machinery and the National Feed Machinery Standardization Technical Committee, giving it a direct voice in international standard setting.
Myande: Asia's No. 1 in Grease Pre-Impregnation Equipment
Founded in 2003 with only 40 to 50 employees, Myande set a goal of becoming a "respected global leader in its niche market" by its founder and stayed focused on the corporation's core business for over two decades without deviation.

Mr. Li Xudong, Global Marketing Vice President of Myande, stated that the corporation holds approximately 30% global market share and over 80% domestic market share in the grease pre-impregnation equipment field, ranking first in Asia and among the top 2 globally. Its clients include the world's four major grain traders, like ADM, and leading domestic giants like COFCO. "We've spent over a decade building localized marketing channels," Mr. Li said. "Once we identify a business opportunity from a client, our success rate and prediction accuracy are extremely high."

Regarding geopolitical disruptions, Mr. Li pointed out that the most direct impact of the Middle East situation on the corporation has been personnel movement — Dubai is a crucial transit point for travel between the Middle East, Europe, and South America. Sales and service personnel faced travel disruptions at the beginning of the conflict, but have since recovered quickly. He also noted that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has heightened concerns about food security, leading to increased investment in food processing equipment in Russian-speaking countries, which have now become one of Myande's largest market profit contributors.

Myande's New Frontier: Solid-State Fermentation Equipment
In recent years, Myande has expanded its business into solid-state fermentation, developing fermentation equipment and cultivating beneficial bacteria to eliminate the need for antibiotics in feed production, improving food safety from the source.

The corporation has also maintained a flag-raising ceremony for all employees on the first working day of every month for over 20 years without interruption. When introducing Myande's development history, the executive said: "For us, running a business is like adding water when there's too much flour, and adding flour when there's too much water. With accumulated capital, we expand production capacity. It's this persistence that has brought us to where we are today."
